Executive Summary

Western European firms are in for a rocky ride in 2022, as every sector will be rapidly reshaped by digitization. But opportunities abound for companies that make a significant leap, such as retailers moving to cashless transactions or brands using the latest digital display technology. Competition will be fierce—among paid-for video providers, for example—and the EU will continue to battle firms that flout digital security laws.

Questions this report covers:

  • What tools are Western Europe’s physical retailers employing to compete with digital sellers?
  • Can national and regional providers of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services compete with the likes of Netflix and Amazon?
  • Can new technology reanimate digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising as public spaces reopen?
  • How will Big Tech and other actors undermining digital privacy and security fare in the EU?
